It's looking good will the body be a different colour to the roof or is there a reason why the roof was done first?

Thanks Lobby and Pete-H

 

We painted the roof 1st as its not an ideal enviroment and wanted to minimise overspray.

 

Its more manageable in sections.

 

Lower half is now painted , just flatting it back

 

Then the boot and bonnet.

Have you fitted the Charge Cooler as there is no room for an Inter-cooler?

 

Nice Ali welding.
